Chapter 115: The Innocent Little Bird
Chapter 115: The Innocent Little Bird
"Master, the clothes have been delivered."
Just as Mei Susu's thoughts were wandering, the sound of chasing shadows was heard outside the hall.
Mei Susu immediately clutched the mattress tightly. Xuanyuan Che picked her up and put her on the couch, then put down the veil: "Come in."
The door of the hall was pushed open and people outside walked in one after another.
There was not only Zhuiying, there were also three little palace maids. They lowered their heads and were very well-behaved.
"Crescent!"
Mei Susu saw the little palace maid in the middle and called out excitedly. Yueya heard someone calling her and wanted to look up, but as soon as she raised her head, she was frightened by Zhuiying's cold snort and lowered it again.
"Put your things down." Zhuiying ordered coldly.
Yueya and the remaining two young palace maids did not dare to disobey. They placed the trays in their hands on the table and respectfully left the hall.
Zhuiying naturally left the hall with them, and did not forget to close the door behind them when leaving.
"Clothes." Mei Susu stretched out her arm, pulled aside the veil and looked at the tray in the distance.
Xuanyuan Che stood up and brought the tray with clothes to Mei Susu: "Susu slept soundly last night, so I took the initiative to choose a style for Susu. Susu, take a look and see if you like it."
Mei Susu sat on the couch with big eyes, watching Xuanyuan Che pick up the goose yellow clothes.
The silk slowly spread out, and as the light changed, the pearls on the clothes reflected a dazzling halo.
The cuffs of the goose yellow gown are embroidered with silver-thread cloud-patterned piping, and the collar is embellished with white petals, as if petals have fallen on the shoulders. The hem of the skirt is decorated with feathers and pearls, and it is extremely beautiful as it sways.
There is no woman who doesn't love beauty, and of course there is no woman who doesn't love beautiful clothes. Mei Susu's eyes flashed with surprise, and she couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow".
She smiled at Xuanyuan Che, her eyes as clear as a pool of clear water: "Su Su likes it."
Xuanyuan Che came forward with the clothes and put them in Mei Susu's hands: "As long as Susu likes it."
Mei Susu touched the clothes and found them soft and smooth. It was obvious that the material was very good, probably made of brocade silk.
Yunjin silk is warm in winter and cool in summer, but costs thousands of gold coins a piece. However, it is in short supply. In the entire imperial palace, only the Empress Dowager and the most favored Concubine Shun can enjoy it.
It is said that Yunjin silk is so rare that the emperor rarely gives it as a reward, which shows how precious and rare Yunjin silk is.
"Is this very valuable?" Mei Susu asked knowingly.
Xuanyuan Che gestured with the clothes on her shoulders twice, and was very satisfied. Those people in the palace were finally useful.
"To me, nothing is more important than SuSu."
Xuanyuan Che looked into Mei Susu's eyes and said seriously, "As long as Susu likes it, even if it's the moon in the water, I will fish it out for Susu."
I have to admit that Xuanyuan Che is really sweet.
Why didn’t I realize before that he was so good at speaking?
If Su Su hadn't been by his side all the time, she would have known that there had never been a woman by his side.
Otherwise, based on what he said now, Mei Susu would definitely think that he was a playboy who wandered around with women.
It's just her who's the one talking so much. Who else can handle it?
I quickly recited a few verses of the Heart Purification Sutra silently, reminding myself not to be seduced by beauty.
She had underestimated Xuanyuan Che. His rank was actually on par with hers. That wouldn't do. She had to be the woman at the top!
Mei Susu's nose twitched twice, her nose red. She carefully held Xuanyuan Che's sleeve with her little hand. The moment she raised her eyes, mist filled her eyes. Her voice was so soft that it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it: "I don't want the moon. I, I just want Cheche to accompany me~"
Xuanyuan Che's body froze in place, a moment of panic flashed across his narrow eyes as he looked at Mei Susu. His breathing seemed even, but in fact only he knew that the moment he heard these words, his breathing became disordered along with his heart.
For the first time in his life, Xuanyuan Che avoided someone's gaze before making eye contact.
He held Mei Susu in his arms and pressed her little head against his chest. He said nothing, but he believed that his rapid heartbeat would let Susu know what he meant.
He is very nervous now.
Mei Susu naturally heard Xuanyuan Che's crazy beating heartbeat, so fast that she was afraid his heart would jump out like this.
The corners of her mouth curled up mischievously, and she smiled with evil humor.
Others said that Xuanyuan Che was not interested in women, was clean and self-disciplined, and had the demeanor of a gentleman.
She didn't see that.
She had just said a few nice words and acted coquettishly, but look at his heart beating "boom boom boom" and his ears were red.
Mei Susu suddenly remembered the pink color she saw when she first met Xuanyuan Che.
Who wouldn't love an innocent little chick? It's a pity that she is still young and can't enjoy that blessing.
Xuanyuan Che is old enough to get married and have children, and the old emperor must be extremely anxious. It seems that Xuanyuan Che has no chance with the young lady from Master Wen's family, and no one knows who will be the next one.
Well, no matter who it is, it can't be her. Her growing up this time is purely an accident, and who knows how many years it will take for her to grow up next time. Even if Xuanyuan Che can wait, the old emperor may not be able to wait.
When Xuanyuan Che's heartbeat calmed down, there was a knock on the door outside the hall.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Zhao is here."
Zhao Zhen is here?
Mei Susu tilted her head towards the palace gate, curious about how Zhao Zhen knew Xuanyuan Che was here.
Xuanyuan Che let go of Mei Susu's little head and rubbed her hair: "I'll ask someone to come in and help you change clothes."
"Yeah~" Mei Susu nodded, very well behaved.
Xuanyuan Che couldn't let go and touched her little face, then turned and left.
However, his originally gentle and doting expression had turned sinister and cold the moment he opened the palace door, as if all his tenderness would only be revealed when facing Mei Susu.
"Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Zhao Zhen bowed respectfully.
Xuanyuan Che didn't even glance at him, he just walked past him and said to the crescent moon at the door: "Go in and serve me well."
Yueya bowed and nodded, then lowered her head and quickly entered the hall and closed the door.
As soon as the palace door closed, Zhao Zhen immediately went up to greet him with a smile, full of respect and flattery: "Your Highness, His Majesty is ill and wants to see you."
Xuanyuan Che glanced at him coldly: "Didn't I send a message back? How come he didn't see it?"
Zhao Zhen's face turned pale: "This... His Majesty saw it, but..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted.
"Since he saw it, he did it on purpose. Go back and tell him. After the matter is settled, I will go back and chase the shadow to send Eunuch Zhao back."
Without giving Zhao Zhen a chance to speak again, Xuanyuan Che flicked his sleeves and strode away.
"temple......"
Zhao Zhen wanted to chase him, but Zhui Ying stopped him: "Eunuch Zhao, please."
This was not the first time that Zhao Zhen was chased away by Zhui Ying, and he knew that there was no hope for him to catch up.
He could only shake his head and sigh, then followed Zhuiying away.
